    Background:
    I know my progress is really slow and not impressive at all compared to others. I paid in hard work like many others. We are in the same game, just different levels. Same hell, just different devils.
    I made this video to document my progress over the past year where I have gone from not being able to do a handstand to doing (1) 40 seconds of handstand hold, (2) 1 rep of handstand pushup and (3) press to handstand.
    Original post on reddit: How I went from 0 to 40 seconds handstand hold in 12 months: / how_i_went_from_0_to_4...

    This is why i love calisthenics: you don’t need any fancy equipment, or move to far places. You can just do it wherever you want and stick to the basic moves like push ups. As long as you commit to it, you will find harder variations and increase confidence in yourself🙌🏼

    • @alanwalkman29
      @alanwalkman29 Год назад +1

      Also, what I like about calisthenics is it's poetic in a way that the force you're working against is yourself i.e. your bodyweight.

This date is July 31, though Im still with my bestfriend, Paul the Wall, I am able to feel how my spine works bone by bone from disk to disk to lengthen , extend and reach way up inverted. I will keep watching this and makes me more motivated. My goal, without Paul my wall, at age 60, I have accomplished the king of all movements, HANDSTAND. Thank you for sharing this. You are superlative inspirational. God bless you and embrace this gift from above. Sending you love.
